Baking with Convection
Convection baking is very consistent and even. The fan circulates the hot air around the food making baked goods rise quickly and evenly.
Bake your favorite cookies, cakes, pies, brownies, etc. The bake ware that will fit in your oven are up to 11 inches in length. We do not recommend the use of oven roasting bags or glass containers in the oven. Never use plastic, cardboard, paper or anything similar in the oven.
Note: Position the wire rack in the lowest Support Guide.
Operation
•Place the wire rack in the lowest or middle Rack Support Guide depending on the height of the pan or according to the recipe.
•Place pan with item(s) to be baked on the wire rack.
•Turn the Function Control to Bake/Convection.
•Turn the Time Control to position “Stay On”.
•When baking is complete, turn the Time Control to “OFF”.
Positioning of the Wire Rack
Cookies - Use bottom and middle Support Guides.
Layer Cakes - Use bottom Support Guide only (bake one at a time). Pies - Use bottom Support Guide.
Baking Cookies
For baking cookies, we suggest adjusting baking temperature and using a cookie sheet placed on the wire rack. Also, using parchment paper on a cookie sheet might prove helpful when baking certain types of cookies.
1.
2.Use parchment paper on cookie sheet so cookies will not stick.
3.Cookie sheets, baking times and temperatures may differ from those necessary when using other baking materials.
Note: Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food, so it cooks food faster. When baking your favorite recipes or packaged goods, follow recipe instructions. Check the baked goods a few minutes before the shortest recommended baking time.
Baking Guide
Follow the package or recipe instructions for baking times and temperature.
Recommended Pan Sizes
The following recommended pan sizes should fit your Convection / Toaster Oven. To be sure pan will fit place the pan inside the oven to check before preparing your recipe.
8 x 4 loaf pan
9 x 5 loaf pan
8” round or square baking pan or dish
When baking in loaf pans, we recommend you do not fill more than half full.
Toasting
Large capacity oven allows for toasting 4 to 6 slices of bread, 6 muffins, frozen waffles or frozen pancakes. When toasting only 1 or 2 items, place food on the Wire Rack in the center of the oven.
Operation
•Set the Temperature Control to 450°F.
•Turn the Function Control to Toast.
•Place food to be toasted on the Wire Rack.
•Ensure Crumb Tray is in place.
•Turn the Time Control to desired time. (See suggested toast settings below).
•Bell will ring to signal the end of the Toast cycle.
Note: Wire Rack should be positioned in the middle of the oven with the indentations pointing down.
Suggested Toast Settings:
Light: | 4 min. |
Medium: | 5 min. |
Dark: | 7 min. |
CAUTION: When toasting, do not leave food in for longer periods of time other than what is listed above. Toasting for longer than recommended times will burn food.
Grilling with Convection
For best results, it is recommended that you preheat the oven for 15 minutes on 450°F before adding the food to be grilled. In the convection oven, it is not necessary to turn the food because the fan circulates the hot air around the food.
Operation
•Set Temperature Control to 450°F.
•Turn Function Control to Grill w/Convection.
•Preheat the oven for 15 minutes.
•Place the bake pan on the lowest rack support.
•Place the food on the Wire Rack and slide into the Top Rack Support Guide or Middle Rack Support Guide depending on the thickness of the food that you are cooking.
•Food should be placed as close as possible to the Top Heating Element without touching it.
•Set temperature control to the appropriate temperature.
•Brush food with sauces or oil, as desired.
•Turn Time Control to position ‘Stay On’.
•It is advisable to leave the door slightly ajar.
•When grilling is complete, turn the Time Control to ‘OFF’.
